to build a new. mission to teach. us. police. support of the president. by his fellow republican. chuck hagel will be given another try but

only. thanks so much for joining us today. news from around the world. people in russia recovering from the shock of the. area on friday. creating a powerful shock wave hundreds of buildings including schools. at

the now twelve hundred people have been injured as a result of the devastating explosion many of them children. go to prison off now reports from the affected region. thankfully the night passed quietly and without any incidents in chile i've insistence there were fears that more meteors were going to hit the area nothing of the kind happened but the consequences of friday's meteor are still quite a handful it's not only about shattered go out lots of old buildings were damaged as well like this factory there behind me where parts of the wall and roof just collapsed which is remarkable since we're around one hundred kilometers because there are sixty miles away from where the media are fell on friday the explosion was so powerful nasa says it was equal to around twenty new cars to dropped on hiroshima thankfully these explosions caused by the media were not accompanied by

lethal radioactivity for more what happened here on friday here's this report it wasn't a bird a plane or superman but something much louder brighter faster and many times of war terrifying because big bright like him shiny across the sky you know blinding brighter than the sun it was around nine am when the skies were suddenly lit up by media or flying over breaking into three parts and leaving a striking trail of smoke before vanishing just minutes later the city and the surrounding areas were literally rocked by a series of massive explosion. and i immediately called one of my teammates who lives in my building and i you know i couldn't get through to him by phone in work so i was a little bit scared at the point so powerful it damaged buildings and shattered windows all across the city of dallas the bottom of your family i was told didn't clean crashed right into our building then we would tell the wall his lean far to

do slow and metal structures inside would bend by for the last three feet it was a very scary to come up with maybe we were able to be under fisa naaman on a leader flooding the web with footage as rumors. read of what it might have been a stricken airplane a satellite that orbits even the beginning of the end of the world and our t.v. documentary crew that was working in the area suddenly found themselves at the center of events in it but you put up that we saw a huge tail in the sky like from an airplane and then there was a bright fire and an explosion but the feeling was like there are. we thought some military jets may have crashed or that it was some manmade disaster it was a relief to find out today is a natural phenomena anybody except for over twelve hundred people were injured including over two hundred children mostly for pieces of shattered glass that one of the girls ran out to take pictures yes. and she was thrilled by the

wave that came after this the flash and then we. my ears got blocked and the whole room get got filled with dust just like like a fog it's estimated the media as we need to varied from ten to forty tons and its speed of around twenty miles per second it gave it a huge amount of energy and made it very difficult to detect you know that there are telescopes and networks operated by nasa in the u.s. and what's cosmos in russia and the european space agency others that are out there trying to detect the track asteroids but honestly there's a lot of there's hundreds of thousands and their biggest focus is on the really large ones ones that are hundreds of meters in diameter or kilometers in diameter that could potentially you know do to us what happened to the dinosaurs thankfully no one was killed this time it was believed that he did he just will facilities

including several nuclear sites located in the region. and lawrence maxwell cross from the school of earth and space exploration he says this was an event of huge scientific interest. meteors and asteroids are come many of them come from the outer part of our solar system perturbations from the planet jupiter and other planets there's a huge. store of of comets asteroids out outside the orbits of jupiter and outside in fact the outer solar system some of them periodically get disturbed by the gravity of the inner planets and get sent inwards some of them are big balls of ice and become comets others are big balls of rock and the impact on mars and the earth and the moon and. what's fascinating is actually you could if you can collect some of this material some of it is primordial if we actually detect it and we can we can get it right after it falls we can actually measure material that hasn't been processed since

a solar system formed four to have billion years ago so for scientists it's a fascinating event and i'm happy that people weren't killed by it but if some of that material can be recovered it will be incredibly interesting and important for scientists and for dottie dot com right now we've got a special section on the exploding space rock and the havoc that a wreaked if you know all you can check out the exact timeline of the incident as well as a more images and first hand accounts. i . so this is r t and egypt is once again being shaken by a burning buildings and stone throwing protesters with tear gas and water cannons unleashed in response this is rallies against the president and ruling islamists have routinely turn into clashes with police and they renewed on arrest began on the second anniversary of the country's revolt and have been taken place on

a weekly basis since this time however there was a massive rival rally organized by a hardline islamist so thousands gathered in tahrir to show their support for president morsi and islamic law demonstrators lashed out of the opposition blaming them for violence that's taken at least seventy lives in recent weeks but despite this display of loyalty to the current leadership many experts believe that its days are numbered. and looking at how to egypt in the last two years is in effect a coup by twelve percent it's the actual number of eligible voters who voted for the sharia constitution and that's the muslim brotherhood and the majority of the egyptians are dead set against any kind of shari'a constitution they want to have their democracy they want to be able to breathe openly and worship god in their own way and not be told what to do now i think the interesting thing is what's happening in washington since the per second obama term began i think what regime

is on the obama have it that this entire muslim brotherhood experiment of the arab spring has turned out to be a catastrophe and they're pivoting their energies towards china and downgrading their support of groups like morsi so i think what's playing out now is the brotherhood is finished in egypt i don't see any way that there's going to be a reconciliation and the people the people smell that this sense that they feel that and that's what's driving them so either the brotherhood steps down peacefully and respects the will the majority or we're going to have a very bloody ugly egypt. or at a terminus past the hour here in the russian capital chuck hagel will be given another shot at becoming the us defense secretary after the senate returns from its recess in less than ten days a storming vote why hagan's fellow republicans saw him fall just short of landing the new job earlier this week and artie's guy nature kind of points. those who

blocked the vote on chuck hagel nomination this thursday know very well that he will eventually be confirmed as defense secretary there are enough votes in the senate to confirm him but the stalling of the vote together with the humiliating treatment that the senators gave chuck hagel two weeks ago at his confirmation hearing this whole process is seen as a message all by itself those lawmakers showed that they could crush anyone who would allow themselves to dissent from washington's core foreign policy beliefs chuck hagel remarks at the confirmation hearing disappointed even his supporters during the hearing which to many seemed like an inclination mr haygood had to backtrack on many of the statements he had made before including that war with iran should not be an option including his criticism of israel's actions and some other foreign policy views that he had expressed as a senator so throughout that long an exhausting hearing mr hague kept apologizing for much of the previous statements he had to take from previous positions he had taken and he bent backwards to show how quote unquote mainstream his views are in

the senators kept accusing him of not being again quote unquote mainstream enough to get the job chuck hagel swore to defend basically all of washington's foreign policy orthodoxies his confirmation process has been humiliating in many ways and it demonstrated the state of u.s. foreign policy basically intolerant of an ill targeted vision alternative having said all that the president's decision to nominate chuck hagel of course knowing the position chuck hagel had taken before it was also seen as a message president obama had said previously that there is too much of your talk going on and maybe by nominating chuck hagel he wanted to play down because too many people here in washington are too eager to talk war just during the confirmation hearing the word war was mentioned one hundred twenty times the word iran one hundred eight times by comparison of ghana's than the war that the u.s. is fighting right now just twenty six mentions of course those are just words but they may very well show high. how eager many meeting in washington are to discuss

new wars without even having finished the old ones. this is say and u.s. authorities are planning to file away every tweet ever sent in a colossal long life. they're doing a lot of other stuff that they should be doing like killing people across the world but you know there's only so much we can do and i think storing our tweets are kind of low on the priority but it's still in part the nation stopped and i'm just a bit later in the program here on the. people in new york one with about kind of interest as a necessary safeguard or a sinister form of snooping. and attempts to study the shaky global economy of being made of the g. twenty gathering of finance heads right here in moscow we report on the cracks within the ranks. after the quick break.

we'll look at. technology innovation all the developments from around russia we've got the future covered. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture.

hi thanks for joining us here on our. moscow with your news from around the world there is a new big game against big brother being played all across germany where activists teaming up to destroy as many surveillance cameras as possible the players claim their message is serious and they're protecting their privacy threatening a major protest in berlin later in the day. sprawls with their actions of valid hope perhaps just another form of general vandalism. if you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you walking through the streets of the german capital there may be more to it than paranoia. the amount of sensitivity civilians in germany is on the rise and it's not as bad as in other countries for example of the u.k. very millions of cameras installed but still the number is rising and that's worrying us. that increase has seen some berliners take quite drastic action and fight back

against what they see as the invasion of their privacy the target for their fight the cameras themselves the phenomenon has even produced an online game cam over the rules are simple film yourself destroying c.c.t.v. cameras posted online and point to rewarded for the amount of cameras smashed as well as bonus points for creativity although many privacy campaign is uneasy this more militants approach we're not a particular big fan of while and even if it's violence against things that's a form of protest we do not support of the we support the message. contest will culminate in a protest ahead of the european police congress in berlin law enforcers fear the movement and its methods will only rise in popularity and public damage i don't think it's it's

a group that is committing these crimes i think these are some people from the left wing political corner they want others to compete with them to destroy cameras and what about allegations that the rise in c.c.t.v. coverage was turning berlin into an all well state no i don't think so i think we have a strict law that the only personal belongings or the personal. the ground you own can be protected by a camera you're not allowed to point the camera at a public street and so i don't think there's. big brother watching everybody or germany does. some very strict laws when it comes to personal image rights even global giants like google of how to censor the faces of anyone snapped on this street view service the advancements of things like smartphones and the amount of pictures taken and uploaded to the web every day is sure to make it even more

difficult for those who prefer to keep their anonymity the authorities deny that big brother is watching you in berlin however as the amount of c.c.t.v. in the city goes up it becomes increasingly difficult not to get caught on camera peter all over r.t. berlin. and over the web site r.t. dot com right now an image of two palestinian children killed by israeli soldiers scoops the twenty twelve world press photo award as it turns out her there are even more frightening images doing the rounds on social networks and sparking quite a lot of concern because those images that are to dot com right now. also online for you a russian raids a mental health center to rescue his girlfriend i mean she was unfairly section at the request of his mother find out who's in trouble now.

the finance chief of the world's biggest economies have united in chorus against looming currency wars following a high level talks right here in moscow for russia the gathering is seen as a launch pad for its hosting of the g. twenty summit later this year artie's lucy catherine off has this report. japan is actually at the center of this crisis because of its aggressive monetary and fiscal policies that have led to a weakening of the yen and basically in tough economic times one option that a country house is to artificially make the value of its currency worth a little bit less so for example making something like this twenty dollar bill worth less you can do that by a variety of means like printing money why would you want to do that because when you do you value your currency your manufactured goods your goods your exports become cheaper and that gives you a short term economic boost which is something that a lot of these countries europe the united states japan certainly desperately need in these tough economic times there are many problems with this approach but of

course the biggest one is that when you start to do something your trading partners will say hey your stuff is cheaper i want to follow suit and do the same thing and that results in a tit for tat economic clash that we know as a currency war what we're hearing right now is finance ministers essentially saying this currency war thing it's probably not going to happen does that mean that that's the case we don't quite know perhaps japan and other countries have gotten the message behind closed doors the other issue that a lot of experts have really brought up here is that there is no consensus in the g twenty on this issue because of internal divisions for example what you have is doing isn't really all that different from what the fed in the united states does which has been printing money furiously so there's really not a lot of incentive for countries to sort of get together and take a tough stance on this issue another battle that we've really seen emerge in these talks between the united states and europe over a stereo versus debt basically the europeans have been pushing for countries to stick to agreements that were decided upon several years ago to cut down borrowing

and debt they think that this sort of tough austerity measures medicine is the kind of thing that's going to help this economic crisis come to an end well countries like the united states and we in fact i've heard that the u.s. is blocking specifically this push they don't want to reduce their borrowing because they're heavily indebted and if they stop borrowing if they reduce their deficits that could theoretically hurt unemployment and other sort of domestic internal issues. this is artsy now street cameras and other kinds of surveillance across the u.s. give it citizens the feeling of having perhaps a little less privacy but it seems what you've done in the past also won't be forgotten is the library of congress is now creating a database of all tweets ever posted laurie half an s to the streets of new york to find out whether the government is once again showing too much interest in the private lives of its people.

the library of congress announced that it's storing our tweet is this just another method of surveillance or is it a way of archiving the times this week let's talk about that did you know that our government is starting to store all of our tweets they're archiving them in the library of congress not surprised you're not surprised by that now why not they're quite everything are you ok with that no absolutely not. so what do we do about it you know i don't know because they're doing a lot of other stuff that they should be doing like killing people across the world but you know there's only so much we can do i think so our tweets are kind of low on the priority but it's still a point that they should stop there and yeah it's just another way that they can surveil us right yeah but i think how would you feel about your government storing all those tweets that scares me the so because i mean like you could tweak things i mean i've talked to a for about three years now and i kind of member watch way it back them if they can

find out and just kind of see what it was that's quite scary have you ever tweeted something that you might not want stored for all time usually a tweet recipes and food related things so i'd love it if they store it. i mean those are a surprise to me though the track your facebook and they track everything you do a lot i mean they have the rights when they stand long as the invention was five it is doing this for your protection do you believe that you trust them to use it not as a way to surveil you or invade your privacy you know i believe they're i mean what more can they do i mean if you know if you put stuff on do that you don't want to be out there that you shouldn't do with where you should just keep it private stuff so you should influence with and all over the place whether or not you think the government storing our tweets is an invasion of privacy and the bottom line is you better think twice before you tweet because you never know who might be listening.

ok it's just about i'd let you had an hour with robert foster and his paralleled musical manna targeting u.s. and gun policy the juice news is just around the bend. united states is based on. you know i care rest that you'll never have the falls go away local news is welcome to the show today come on out to sing we've just got a studio upgrade like i'm on the system is devoted to the debate which has been totally devoted to the united states has to work for big mass shootings for the repeated to sandy hook school while someone killed them and to stop the bloodshed

of this want to prevent government coming is there a concept of the scheme past we can stop x. but kids from opposing factions the military zone seat back is a representative of the black splotches you know whiteness and it beyond judgment reach peace compassion in abundance the illegality fire retardants see some anonymous i agree but why ban guns what you learn to read you kidding the second amendment is a sacred law but under the gun bans are evil people are insisting suggested john trying to mask only happen when people don't have access to semiautomatic weapons and we were given this precious right to bear arms not for hunting bears but to protect just you don't from predictive americans who would defend the land from the colonists no property from our own free government the states that want to win a cosmic table trying to take power they take the people look at hitler or stalin still come on our chests legs and shot mr george the third in fact is that a british accent in the seventy seventy six lumps of plants you want to leave when

it comes to trying to tell god is ok let's hear from the general but it's the first time we've had you both in the studio together frankly i'm shocked by what that business about people american lives is a tragedy eleven thousand gun murders a year can be truly we need to stop this insanity what do you suggest to start the citizenry leave guns to the criminals smugglers and the military with mission is the key. we need a war on drugs and we're like our war on drugs i just killed one of my cold hands far like general police i understand numbers but the second amendment play a little can you predict events like the over the assault began. when temperance shooting shooters aim shooting goal called a gun you've been taking your meds the feds will go away to warn you david koresh of the school shooting that incident in connecticut was a deliberate orchestrated spike set up with aims aim to take our weapons at least a dozen batteries in plastic and sometimes they can find. some like c.

are waiting to take the united states and to get a community to take or ship in this culture the only one standing in the way of a general if the slaves want guns let them be our supremacy doesn't depend on weaponry which steals media money and makes we control every aspect of your life through ideological examination but if you think you can just stomp your feet then what you waiting for would already strip you of your liberty for the simple might seem to be if you once are bold. globalists.

well i guess that sums it up and brings us to point to the end of our report on guns in the divided stakes of america sadly it's not our place to pass judgment but listen with a question and a last comment if your passion for the second amendment were missed by down the budget and then independent of the bonus media. the previous new president today would always be there but. if it's in a very significant it's the tipping it begins so what follows the first look of the likes of you know weekends with the stay safe everyone.

helicopters flying through the air day and night rounds of assault rifle ammo popping as the choppers buzz over the land now this unique form of hell of terror is no longer restricted to those in vietnam in the middle east now houston miami residents of the good old usa can get in on the fun houston residents of terror called nine one one and scrambled for cover and even to schools put on lockdown as the military helicopters participated in a multi-agency training for oil in miami at night in the middle of downtown onlookers caught video on their telephones of blackhawk helicopters pumping loud blank on to the people below and maybe even as i speak a flexibly scheduled military drill could be happening in jesper county south carolina you know when i was a kid they tell us about how that year old soviet union would parade their tanks around how there were soldiers all over their oppressed country even in one

thousand nine hundred four or will meet in a point to describe our military helicopters would eternally be overhead and a dystopian nightmare world now we're living the nightmare the united states is a huge country there's plenty of room on remote army bases to do your training also last time i checked afghanistan you don't look like downtown miami just who are you training to kill anyways knock off the terror training. but that's just my opinion or go. with the.
